Picked up a Nismo this past week
 

2009 with 18K miles, I saw it at a local dealer surfing autotrader.. long story short I saw it on Wednesday while casually surfing the web from work, Thursday night I was driving it home.

Quick question: I'm thinking the first upgrade I want to do is the air intake. What does everyone recommend to get the most bang for your buck?

Thanks!

The best intake for the $$$ is to put K&N filters in your stock intakes. The stock intakes draw cold air from in front of the radiator. They are a little restrictive regarding flow, but not too bad. They dyno better than any short ram intake that draws air from the engine compartment. Most folks go with a true long tube cold air intake. There are several good brands, do a search. I've got a Stillen G3 and it's probably the most popular one. Good luck on the choice and congrats on the Nismo. Very clean looking in silver. Welcome!

Welcome and Congrats! :hello:

Hi

Exhaust! Gotta get rid of that vacuum cleaner stock note we have!

Welcome

Thanks I'll look into it, did you install the Stillen yourself? Just did a quick read that says you have to take the bumper off.. if so how difficult was it?

Thanks!

Ha that's next. Just figured that intake would be a little less expensive

True but exhaust will really make you love your car even more. :tup:

Welcome!

Congrats on the new ride, looks clean. I went with the Stillen Gen 3 Intake and I'm very happy with it, it was my first mod. For exhaust I got Fast Intentions with 12" resonators and carbon fiber can, I love it.
Welcome to the forum.

Welcome! An intake is a great starting mod.
